[The results of extracting a complicated cataract in patients with recurrent uveitis].
Comparative analysis of results after extracapsular cataract extraction (46 eyes) and intracapsular cataract extraction (58 eyes) in 88 patients with recurrent uveitis has shown that after extracapsular extraction complications occur rarer than after intracapsular cataract extraction. Exudative reaction was observed equally frequently both in surgical intervention at the period of remission, and in the presence of moderate signs of uveitis. Both methods allowed to achieve high visual acuity in 58% of cases; the cause of low visual acuity was atrophy of the optic nerve, chorioretinitis, opacification of the vitreous body, secondary cataract. In remote terms of observation, no recurrences of the disease were recorded in 82% of cases, this speaking about the fact that removal of opaque lens prevents possible autosensitizing influence of a lenticular antigen on the eye coats.
